Data Storage and Research Data Management

The amount of research data is increasing, as are the requirements for long-term preservation of the data. Solutions to store, share, re-find and re-use research data are important for the institutions and for the research and society as a whole.

DeiC and DEFF (Denmarks Electronic Research Library) have - in collaboration with the eight Danish universities and the preservation institutions (the Royal Library, the State and University Library, and the Danish National Archives) - decided to finance combined efforts in the area of approx. 40 mio. DKK in 2015–2018.

A National Strategy for Research Data Management

In February 2014 The Danish Rectors College, DeiC and DEFF etablished ”The Steering Group for National Data Management” with members appointed from Universities Denmark, the Danish Royal Library, The State and University Library and the Danish National Archives with the purpose to ensure that Denmark, in a collaboration between the prime stakeholders, got a national strategy for research data management.

The vision is to ensure Denmark a better and more competitive research through efficient collection, securing, dissimination and re-use of relevant research data.
